We're gonna throw everything we have at this guy. 203 00:11:55,007 --> 00:11:57,092 Sir, I'm reading a massive energy buildup. 204 00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:05,893 Brace for impact! 205 00:12:15,319 --> 00:12:18,238 Shields are down. Heavy damage on all decks. 206 00:12:18,322 --> 00:12:20,198 We've lost hyperdrive and main weapons. 207 00:12:20,282 --> 00:12:22,343 Evasive maneuvers. We can't take another hit like that. 208 00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,012 All right, you should have flight controls now. 209 00:12:24,036 --> 00:12:26,455 What about weapons? Not a chance. 210 00:12:27,205 --> 00:12:29,082 Something's happening. 211 00:12:43,138 --> 00:12:44,198 No, it doesn't make any sense. 212 00:12:44,222 --> 00:12:45,533 Most of our main systems were down. 213 00:12:45,557 --> 00:12:47,452 These guys had us dead to rights and they knew it. 214 00:12:47,476 --> 00:12:48,727 Why would they just fly away? 215 00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:51,490 Perhaps it's precisely because they knew we were no longer a threat. 216 00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:54,066 It's not like the wraith to be so charitable. 217 00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:56,318 Todd said the ship isn't finished, right? 218 00:12:56,401 --> 00:12:58,612 They haven't adapted the full potential of the zpm. 219 00:12:58,695 --> 00:13:00,280 Maybe the battle maxed them out. 220 00:13:00,364 --> 00:13:03,492 Well, if that's the case, I'd hate to meet up with them when they do finish it. 221 00:13:03,575 --> 00:13:04,855 We need to get back to Atlantis. 222 00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:06,536 What's the prognosis on the hyperdrive? 223 00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:08,139 The control systems are completely shot. 224 00:13:08,163 --> 00:13:09,414 My guys are working on a patch, 225 00:13:09,498 --> 00:13:12,042 but it could be days, even weeks, before we're back online. 226 00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:14,544 For the moment, we're not going anywhere. 227 00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:16,088 Marks: Sir. What is it, marks? 228 00:13:16,171 --> 00:13:18,423 I think we may have something. 229 00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:26,650 Kavanaugh, what the hell are you doing here? 230 00:13:26,682 --> 00:13:30,435 Re-assignment. More fun and adventure in the Pegasus galaxy. 231 00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:31,979 Show us what you got, please. 232 00:13:32,062 --> 00:13:33,397 It's a subspace signal. 233 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,316 We detected it just before the hive jumped into hyperspace. 234 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,361 It was weak. Luckily, I happened to be monitoring the sensor 235 00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,530 or we might not have picked it up at all. 236 00:13:41,613 --> 00:13:42,948 It's wraith code. 237 00:13:43,031 --> 00:13:44,282 Obviously. 238 00:13:44,616 --> 00:13:45,760 We're having trouble deciphering it 239 00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:48,412 because the message is interlaced with a residual radiation, 240 00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:49,639 and I've never seen it before. 241 00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:52,290 I have. Once when we met another me 242 00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:55,252 and once when we encountered another daedalus. 243 00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:57,713 This signal, sent from another reality. 244 00:13:57,838 --> 00:13:59,649 I'm sorry, what the hell are you talking about? 245 00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:02,801 Some wraith somewhere in another reality sent a coded signal. 246 00:14:02,884 --> 00:14:05,971 Only whatever means they used to access subspace created a rift, 247 00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:09,683 allowing the signal to cross into multiple realities, including our own. 248 00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:11,560 So what does it say? 249 00:14:11,643 --> 00:14:13,812 Just give me a second. Move. 250 00:14:19,693 --> 00:14:20,986 Oh, great. 251 00:14:21,445 --> 00:14:22,446 What is it? 252 00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:24,865 It's a set of coordinates. 253 00:14:24,948 --> 00:14:27,117 Coordinates to what? 254 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,368 Earth. 255 00:14:34,750 --> 00:14:36,310 You think the hive picked up the signal? 256 00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:38,045 Why else would they leave like that? 257 00:14:38,128 --> 00:14:39,421 It can't be a coincidence. 258 00:14:39,504 --> 00:14:41,649 The wraith know that earth is a much richer feeding ground 259 00:14:41,673 --> 00:14:42,984 than anything in the Pegasus galaxy. 260 00:14:43,008 --> 00:14:44,652 They've been looking for those coordinates for years. 261 00:14:44,676 --> 00:14:47,280 All right, as soon as communications are back up, we'll contact Atlantis, 262 00:14:47,304 --> 00:14:48,865 have them relay a message to Stargate command. 263 00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:50,223 Wait a minute, I've got an idea. 264 00:14:50,307 --> 00:14:51,707 How many ships do we have available? 265 00:14:51,767 --> 00:14:53,911 Aside from ourselves, there's the Apollo and the sun tzu. 266 00:14:53,935 --> 00:14:55,979 How about the odyssey? That's on some secret mission 267 00:14:56,063 --> 00:14:57,331 even I'm not supposed to know about. 268 00:14:57,355 --> 00:14:59,459 Then two will have to be enough. What are you suggesting? 269 00:14:59,483 --> 00:15:01,443 Look, that hive may be super powerful and all, 270 00:15:01,526 --> 00:15:03,171 but I'll bet it has to drop out of hyperspace 271 00:15:03,195 --> 00:15:05,530 at some point along the way for hull regeneration. 272 00:15:05,614 --> 00:15:07,324 I can use the sensor data from the jumpers 273 00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:08,992 to extrapolate exactly where that'll be. 274 00:15:09,076 --> 00:15:10,077 That sounds pretty risky. 275 00:15:10,202 --> 00:15:11,596 If you're wrong, it could mean... I won't be. 276 00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:13,973 Anyways, we can't afford to wait till they get all the way to earth. 277 00:15:13,997 --> 00:15:15,624 My guess is that by that point, 278 00:15:15,707 --> 00:15:18,168 they'll be fully adapted to the zpm. 279 00:15:18,877 --> 00:15:20,087 Do it. 280 00:15:26,134 --> 00:15:28,887 Sir? The daedalus just dropped out of hyperspace. 281 00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:30,430 It's about time. 282 00:15:30,514 --> 00:15:33,308 Colonel Sheppard and his team are beaming down. 283 00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:38,956 Woolsey: Colonel. It's good to finally have you all back. 284 00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:40,107 What'd we miss? 285 00:15:41,024 --> 00:15:42,585 Well, the good news is there's no indication 286 00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:44,778 of any other wraith ships heading for the milky way. 287 00:15:44,861 --> 00:15:47,405 It's as I figured. That signal was too short and too weak. 288 00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:48,824 That ship only detected it 289 00:15:48,907 --> 00:15:50,635 because of its obvious improvements to the sensors. 290 00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:52,786 All right, what's the bad news? 291 00:15:52,869 --> 00:15:53,954 Show them. 292 00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:56,915 This is part of a subspace message 293 00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:59,417 sent by colonel Ellis from on board the Apollo. 294 00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:03,630 We've engaged the hive. Unfortunately, without much success. 295 00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:08,218 The sun tzu is crippled and she's venting atmosphere. 296 00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:10,929 We 're in the process of taking on her crew now. 297 00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:13,723 But, unfortunately, with my engines down 298 00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:17,060 I won't be able to get to the nearest Stargate for at least a month. 299 00:16:17,144 --> 00:16:22,274 As for the enemy, all indications are that they received very little damage 300 00:16:22,357 --> 00:16:25,485 and are continuing on their previous course. 301 00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:29,406 With those two ships out of the picture, 302 00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:33,076 nothing stands between that hive and earth. 303 00:16:42,627 --> 00:16:45,297 There you are. Look, I've been thinking. 80 have I. 304 00:16:45,380 --> 00:16:47,024 There is another ship that can help defend earth. 305 00:16:47,048 --> 00:16:48,928 I know. We're standing on it. The city, exactly. 306 00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:50,343 The only problem... zpms. 307 00:16:50,427 --> 00:16:52,280 Yeah, but if we wanna get there in time to make a difference, 308 00:16:52,304 --> 00:16:56,433 we need a full compliment.

I heard about that. 370 00:20:52,544 --> 00:20:54,212 Sorry, it was kind of sudden. 371 00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:57,090 Heart attack. I was offworld at the time. 372 00:20:58,007 --> 00:20:59,551 He was a good man. 373 00:20:59,634 --> 00:21:00,844 He really was. 374 00:21:02,679 --> 00:21:05,974 So, what's next? C-130 to McMurdo? 375 00:21:07,475 --> 00:21:08,893 Not exactly. 376 00:21:18,027 --> 00:21:20,864 Colonel Sheppard, this is major Davis, homeworld security. 377 00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:21,990 Major. Colonel. 378 00:21:22,073 --> 00:21:23,676 What are we looking at? It's the hive ship. 379 00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:25,886 It dropped out of hyperspace and established orbit around the moon 380 00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:26,953 just before you arrived. 381 00:21:27,036 --> 00:21:29,682 You've got to be kidding me. It's not supposed to be here for weeks. 382 00:21:29,706 --> 00:21:31,749 Evidently, this is no ordinary hive ship. 383 00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:35,462 Yeah, that much I know. What's it doing? 384 00:21:35,545 --> 00:21:37,630 For the moment, nothing. 385 00:21:37,922 --> 00:21:40,550 Best we can guess is it's completing its zpm upgrades, 386 00:21:40,633 --> 00:21:41,885 prior to launching an attack. 387 00:21:41,968 --> 00:21:44,596 Then we gotta make a move first. You get any f-302's? 388 00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:46,949 We have a squadron on permanent standby with earth defense, 389 00:21:46,973 --> 00:21:48,534 but those birds aren't outfitted for anything more 390 00:21:48,558 --> 00:21:49,785 than fighter interceptor duties. 391 00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:50,870 There's no way they're gonna take on... 392 00:21:50,894 --> 00:21:54,230 How long to fit them with nukes? 393 00:21:54,314 --> 00:21:56,399 That could take some doing. 394 00:21:57,192 --> 00:21:59,027 I'll get right on it. 395 00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:02,882 These pilots have any experience fighting the wraith? 396 00:22:02,906 --> 00:22:04,466 John, that's not why I brought you here. 397 00:22:04,532 --> 00:22:06,635 I could sit in the chair and wait for the wraith to get stronger 398 00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:10,121 or I can take the fight to them. What do you wanna do? 399 00:22:25,762 --> 00:22:28,473 Teyla: Mr. Woolsey. You wanted to see us? 400 00:22:28,556 --> 00:22:30,058 Yes, come in, please. 401 00:22:32,602 --> 00:22:36,898 I wanted the opportunity to offer you both one last chance to reconsider. 402 00:22:36,981 --> 00:22:38,566 Reconsider what? 403 00:22:38,650 --> 00:22:40,777 Your involvement in this mission. 404 00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:44,822 I'm told we're about to pass the outer edge of the Pegasus galaxy. 405 00:22:44,906 --> 00:22:46,950 If you wish to be dropped off, 406 00:22:47,033 --> 00:22:48,952 now would be the time. Mr. Woolsey... 407 00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:53,081 We've all grown so accustomed to having you here as part of the team, 408 00:22:54,123 --> 00:22:55,476 it's easy to lose sight of the fact 409 00:22:55,500 --> 00:23:00,838 that your priorities are not necessarily always the same as ours. 410 00:23:01,089 --> 00:23:04,050 You're being asked to fly to another galaxy 411 00:23:04,133 --> 00:23:09,013 to take what might turn out to be the losing part in a battle that isn't yours. 412 00:23:10,181 --> 00:23:14,018 You mean like everyone else on this base has been doing for the last five years? 413 00:23:14,102 --> 00:23:16,354 Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Woolsey, 414 00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:19,232 but I assure you, it is not necessary. 415 00:23:19,315 --> 00:23:21,317 We're not going anywhere. 416 00:23:22,318 --> 00:23:23,653 Very well. 417 00:23:43,256 --> 00:23:45,842 Sheppard: All right, looks like we're ready to go. 418 00:23:45,925 --> 00:23:47,165 There's been a change of plans. 419 00:23:47,218 --> 00:23:49,137 I'm afraid the refit took too long. 420 00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:51,055 The hive is still in lunar orbit, 421 00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:53,099 but we've detected an inbound wave of darts. 422 00:23:53,182 --> 00:23:55,578 I guess they got tired of waiting. Any idea where the target is? 423 00:23:55,602 --> 00:23:57,371 We think so. The wraith message we intercepted 424 00:23:57,395 --> 00:23:59,647 contained a warning about earth's defensive capabilities, 425 00:23:59,731 --> 00:24:01,524 specifically the drone chair. 426 00:24:01,608 --> 00:24:04,235 Only in the alternate reality where the message came from, 427 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,779 it looks like the chair had been moved to area 51. 428 00:24:06,863 --> 00:24:08,072 That's where they're heading? 429 00:24:08,156 --> 00:24:09,198 We believe so. 430 00:24:09,866 --> 00:24:12,327 Well, evacuate the base, let them hit it. 431 00:24:12,410 --> 00:24:13,786 When they bring the hive down, 432 00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:15,872 we'll take them out from Antarctica. 433 00:24:16,623 --> 00:24:17,707 Right? 434 00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:20,269 I'm sorry, John.

Good hunting, colonel. 446 00:25:11,469 --> 00:25:12,679 We're seriously outnumbered. 447 00:25:12,762 --> 00:25:15,640 They'll never be able to keep them all from getting through. 448 00:25:21,187 --> 00:25:24,065 Sheppard, two darts have disengaged.

There was just too many of them. 459 00:26:54,781 --> 00:26:56,866 The chair's been destroyed. 460 00:27:03,706 --> 00:27:05,041 Sheppard, what are you doing? 461 00:27:05,124 --> 00:27:06,542 Igotanidea. 462 00:27:06,626 --> 00:27:08,771 He's climbing rapidly.

He's gonna come to us. 468 00:27:18,888 --> 00:27:20,240 He's right. The hive ship has changed course. 469 00:27:20,264 --> 00:27:21,390 They're on their way. 470 00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:23,434 I've got enough fuel to establish orbit, 471 00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:25,770 thenlwishut everything down, except basic life support. 472 00:27:25,895 --> 00:27:28,314 That way, he won't detect me till it's too late. 473 00:27:28,397 --> 00:27:31,067 Even if that does work, given what we know about this ship, 474 00:27:31,192 --> 00:27:32,652 one nuke is not gonna be enough. 475 00:27:32,735 --> 00:27:34,278 Sheppard: No, not from the outside. 476 00:27:34,904 --> 00:27:37,573 I'll wait for them to enter orbit, I'll fire up my systems, 477 00:27:37,698 --> 00:27:39,051 shoot my way through the dart bay door 478 00:27:39,075 --> 00:27:41,244 and fly the damn bomb right down his throat. 479 00:27:41,369 --> 00:27:43,788 Then, I'll detonate it from the inside. 480 00:27:45,748 --> 00:27:47,083 John, lcant ask you to do that. 481 00:27:47,250 --> 00:27:48,960 Well, you're not asking.

It's not surprising there are a few glitches. 493 00:28:22,618 --> 00:28:23,619 But you can fix it? 494 00:28:23,744 --> 00:28:26,455 I gotta figure out what's wrong first, don't I? 495 00:28:26,622 --> 00:28:28,791 Zelenka, in the meantime, recalibrate our gate position 496 00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:30,877 so we can dial earth.
